…ckground Previously fetch_workspaces_request awaited reconcileActiveWorkspaceRecords() before responding — this ran git operations (getCheckoutStatusLite) on every active workspace, causing projects to appear empty for several seconds after daemon restart or reconnect. Now the registry snapshot is returned immediately and reconciliation runs in the background. Any changed workspaces (e.g. stale worktrees being archived) are pushed as workspace_update events through the existing subscription.
…e git calls
describeWorkspaceRecord was running two git operations per workspace:
- buildProjectPlacement (to refresh display name)
- getCheckoutShortstat (for diff indicator)
With 13 workspaces this caused fetch_workspaces_request to take 7-15s
(observed as ws_slow_request in logs).
Split into two methods:
- describeWorkspaceRecord: uses only persisted data, returns instantly
- describeWorkspaceRecordWithGitData: runs git ops, used for open_project
and create_worktree responses where fresh data is needed immediately
The snapshot path (initial load + background reconciliation) now uses the
fast variant. diffStat is null on initial load; it will be pushed later via
workspace_update once a git-aware path triggers.

cheers, this will most probably be superseded by #197 big revamp of the workspace stuff |

That looks like a massive revamp! BTW, love the app! |

fetch_workspaces_requestblocked onreconcileActiveWorkspaceRecords()before responding. This runsgetCheckoutStatusLite(git operations) on every active workspace, so with 10+ workspaces the projects list appears empty for several seconds after every daemon restart or reconnect.To fix this issue, return the registry snapshot immediately, then run reconciliation in the background. When reconciliation finds changed workspaces (stale worktrees being archived, git metadata updates), it pushes
workspace_updateevents through the existing subscription so the client updates live.Fixes #203
